Winx makes it 22 straight - just - with Cox Plate win

Rex Rios

The planning of Chris Waller was exceptional again and she has proved how great she is and we have grateful that we own her and grateful that she races here in Australia. "It's more important about that than any other part of the weekend really".

"Jo Taylor and the staff said she's fantastic, so that was music to my ears. She would give the race the X-factor and we've spoken to the owners so they can think about it". She is the type of horse that you dream of.

"But you never expect these races to be easy".

Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club have also pitched the idea of Winx racing in next year's The Everest - Waller holds a slot in the $10million race - as the pursuit to host worldwide racing's most marketable asset heats up.

"Remarkably well. She's very bright; she's just got back from the beach this morning", Waller told RSN 927's Correct Weight on Sunday morning.

Winx recorded a new track record for the 2040m journey with a winning time of 2:02.94, which was four one hundredths of a second faster than the 2:02.98 she set in winning her first Ladbrokes Cox Plate in 2015.

"I'm lost for words, she's just made history", Bowman said.

Trainer Chris Waller is due to fly into Melbourne on Tuesday to make a decision on whether the three-time victor of Australasia's weight-for-age championship will have a spring carnival swansong in the Emirates Stakes at Flemington in a fortnight. She had to be good to fight off Humidor and the other runners in the race.

An overseas trip is more likely next year to the United Kingdom which would take in Royal Ascot.

"She's very good on her feet and she does like to go through her gears when she's cornering, particularly this way of going".

"She's an animal that we love and horses come first in this sport". Chris Waller will make the decision in the next couple of days.

Providing some fierce competition was Humidor and Folkswood who finished the race in second and third position respectively.
